Not so much design features, but little things that are broken that are enough to set off the OCD. More points if the problem is relatively small, but would require a labour intensive fix.

For me, the trip reset button has just broken on my E34 5 series. Not a major thing, but annoying enough to annoy me. And a devilish enough fix! Thankfully odometer and trip still work, I just cant reset it!

Well my trip mysteriously started working again, I pressed the button and it reset!

Now to solve the water leak which enters through the pollen filter housing when it rains heavily (I know the heater matrix is here, but it isn't coolant.)
Information on underbonnet drain holes doesn't seem forthcoming. I just need to know what I need to disassemble to get to them. I.e. is it a 5 minute job, or many hour job with lots of swearing!

It's a 1995 BMW 520i (E34) if anyone knows...
